Black on black

Sorry for the irregularity of posts here on the blog. The daily life is just very busy you know, with full time job and three kids I am simply too tired to write up interesting posts on creative achievements I haven't met. I enjoy the blogging very much, and I have been following all your creative masterpieces around the world. My own are just a bit behind at the moment.

Sporadically, when the energy is there, I will of course continue to contribute to the stories of Blogville. Hope you stay with me and enjoy a post once in while.

Having said that , the post is actually about a finished knitting project.
I have been working on a sweater . Black on black , following the principle of alternating stripes of different yarn weights and according to this pattern (sorry danish only). The jumper was knitted on circular needles, crocheted and cut to create a cardigan. It is all finished apart from buttons and a soft wash in the machine.
I have tried it on. Its's lovely, cozy and soft, but I already have one very similar jumper, and this one is intended for a gift to someone special. Time will tell whether it's a success.
